The Joy of Life - Paperback

by Dylan Smith (Author), John S. My Father Smith (Editor)

My poems are a list of things I would describe about the universe, and all of the beauty in the world that I have witnessed throughout my life. From the cleansing, soothing rain at night, to the marvelous flowers I have felt beneath my bare toes. I hope this encourages everyone not to take these things for granted, and appreciate the smaller comforts of life. From good times spent with family, to relaxing moments spent with a loved one, all of my poems are inspired by amazing experiences I have had throughout my life. My mental library ranges from images of the ocean floor to strolls taken through grassy fields. I do hope my words fill your mind with peace, my friend. I am currently a warehouse worker. I was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Throughout my life, I have lived in many different places, including Texas, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, and Louisiana. I currently live with my Father, who is a chiropractor. I have spent a lot of time writing stories and poems and collecting figurines, books, and movies. I have always had a vivid imagination. I am fascinated with the idea of alternate universes and realities. I think the idea of time travel is very cool. I enjoy pretending I am somewhere far away. I am autistic, and I have a unique perception of the world. I often wonder how my life would be different if I was not autistic. My world, at times, seems chaotic. Creating and writing poems has always come quite naturally to me. When I write my poems, I imagine things that are happy and peaceful.
